I've got two BRs (Barred rocky) and two RIRs (Rhode Island red)
Their five days old and their just full of energy

I have all three of those breeds at one time or another over the past 50 years, and they are all hardy, dependable layer of large brown eggs. The RIRs are excellent layers, the Barred Rocks are generally a calm, docile breed, and the Jersey Giants are truly, gentle giants. Good luck with your flock, and in getting your Jersey Giants.
 
Question:

My chicks are 9 days old now and one of my RIRs is smaller then the other.
At first she was the biggest between the two, now she's slightly smaller and lighter.
she's feathering out at the same rate as the others though.
Is she just a late bloomer, or will she end up being a runt?
